This study aims to determine the influence of eHealth literacy on mental health promotion among Saudi nursing students.
This cross-sectional study was conducted from 19 April to 21 May 2020. A total of 468 nursing students responded to the self-administered online survey. Two instruments, namely, the eHealth Literacy Scale and the Positive Mental Health Scale, were used. Statistical tools such as frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation were used for the descriptive analysis. Multiple regression analysis was employed to analyse the relationship between eHealth literacy, health promotion, and its predictors.
The results showed that 30.3% of nursing students were dissatisfied with their general health. Students perceived high self-assessed eHealth literacy and positive mental health. Students in the 4th year had lower scores than those of students in the 2nd year. Nursing students perceived that the quarantine and public social distancing lowered their mental health scores. Finally, the eHealth literacy mean scores resulted in a 0.21-point increase in the positive mental health scores.
The finding of the study shows that the eHealth literacy positively influnce the mental health status of Saudi Nursing students.
本研究旨在确定电子健康素养对沙特护理专业学生心理健康促进的影响。
本横断面研究于2020年4月19日至5月21日进行。共有468名护理专业学生对自行填写的在线调查问卷做出了回应。使用了两种工具,即电子健康素养量表和积极心理健康量表。描述性分析使用了频率、百分比、均值和标准差等统计工具。采用多元回归分析来分析电子健康素养、健康促进及其预测因素之间的关系。
结果显示,30.3%的护理专业学生对自己的总体健康状况不满意。学生们认为自己的电子健康素养自评较高,心理健康状况良好。四年级学生的得分低于二年级学生。护理专业学生认为隔离和公共社交距离降低了他们的心理健康得分。最后,电子健康素养平均得分使积极心理健康得分提高了0.21分。
该研究结果表明,电子健康素养对沙特护理专业学生的心理健康状况有积极影响。
